Ceara make a trip to the Estadio Alfredo Jaconi to take on Juventude on Sunday, as they will be looking to pick up a fourth win in a row for the first time since March.
Meanwhile, the hosts, who are currently on a nine-game winless streat, aim to end this dry spell and begin their surge from the relegation zone.
Juventude currently continue struggling for results in the Serie A as they were on the receiving end of a 4-0 defeat against Flamengo last time out.
In what can be termed as a one-sided affair at the Estadio Nacional de Brasilia, a Pedro brace and goals from Everton Ribeiro and Lazaro saw the hosts cruise to their eighth win of the season.
Sunday’s hosts have now failed to come out on top in any of their last nine league matches, picking up three draws and losing six since a 1-0 home win over Fluminense on June 5.
Edurado Baptista’s side have now been able to claim just two victories, seven draws and lost nine of their 18 matches so far to collect 13 points and remain at the bottom of the league standings.
Meanwhile, Ceara maintained their recent string of impressive performances as they held firm to claim a narrow 1-0 victory over Avai last time out.
They have now won each of their last three matches across all competitions, including a 1-0 win over Fortaleza in the second leg of their Copa do Brasil round-of-16 tie on July 14.
Having picked up 24 points from 18 matches, Marquinhos Santos’ side are currently 11th in the Brasileiro Serie A table, but could potentially move level on points with seventh-placed Flamengo with all three points this weekend, as they face an opposing side who are winless in seven of the eight meetings between the teams.

Juventude have scored five goals and conceded nine. In their last five meetings, Ceara have won two, Juventude one with two draws.

Vina boasts four goal involvements in his last three appearances and should lead the attack once again, teaming up with Ze Roberto and Stiven Mendoza in the final third.
Prediction and Odds
Ceara found the track in recent weeks and head into the contest as one of three teams who have won their last two matches in the Serie A.
They take on a Juventude side who have failed to taste victory in nine successive matches, and we back the visitors for a win.
